Paint code needed

[Double D]

Does any one have the paint code for dull yellow ochre?  True Value paint code preferred.  Lowes or Home Depot can be used also.

[GGaskill]

Take a sample and have them match it?  I probably have some yellow ochre pigment if you want to mix your own.

[Double D]

I don't have sample to match.

You could buy pint or gallon of flat white and put George's pigment into it .

Keep messing around with it till you figure out what you think Dull yellow Ochre  looks like .

I dont know what the code would be but in photonics you are taught that the color is what you think it is more or less . BTW there is no purple ...outside of crayola .... Violet is the word .

But the point is just like trying to figure out the origanal color of a mast ...you go to the first layer , but even then who knows what tone and exact shade it really was or how 'standard' the standerized color was ?

Just suit yourself on what color you have in your head .  ' one mans dull yellow ochre , is another mans dull yellow..ish ochre .

Here's the dull yellow ochre I wish to replicate.  http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2828631

I will print that our and Match it at the hardware store.

It will be interesting to see if your printer produces a color that really looks like that.

DD,
Here's a handy little tool I've never seen before. Click on 'Choose a Photo' and choose the room you want, I chose 'Foyers/Hallways' just because I 'm partial to foyers. At the top there's a bar 'Select a Color Pallette', choose yellow, and it gives you every shade of yellow True V carries. The different shades are shown on a color choice bar at the bottom, you can use your cursor to pick the shade, or use side arrows. There is also a bar that lets you choose to ID the color by number or name. This is pretty cool, I've been playing with this for a while, I think I may be getting the urge to paint our living room a different color; not!

Goerge you have so little faith in the technology that feeds you...I understand.   

I did use that True value paint thing...wife had it for painting her room...results were the roon is now called the bat cave.  The Yellow ochre they show is brown

I have printed out several of the pictures and they compare fairly well with the on screen colors.  As we determined in a previous discussion on olive drab for field carriage close counts in horse shoes, hand grenades and paint colors.

Do you do a lot of hanging around Foyers boomj ?

[Cannoneer]

No, I wouldn't say a lot; in other peoples foyers I usually just take long enough to wipe my soles properly while saying hello, and then head into the inner sanctum of the abode, the parlor, kitchen, somtimes the den. Now, in my own foyer there is a nice oak hall stand that I got from my grandfather; it has a seat with a storage space underneath the seat, arms, a tall back with a mirror and coat hooks fixed to it, and I will admit that when I come home in the evening, I will occasionally sit there for a few moments while reflecting on the day.

I use Ochre powdered pigment (among others) in concrete when I make cast "castle stones". I built an entire patio, stairs, walkway by casting "castlestones" myself. Concrete, durable... love the stuff, except it is so damn heavy...

Anyway, I knew the color was "natural", but since you brought the subject up I had to find out what the heck "Ochre" was.
